Review: Kaajal or kohl is actually eyeliner for inner rim of the eye but much softer than common makeup eyepencils of kohls. They feel cool and are easy to apply but smudge also easily. The difference between these two products is that Shahnaz Husain kohl is more intense in color (darker) and its package is nicer, but price is also higher. It comes in a lipstick kind of tube with small mirror attached to one side of the cover which is quite convenient. Biotique kaajal is in black round tube with transparent cover. I was using Shahnaz kohl most of the time and at some point did get an irritation and had to discontinue. It’s not obvious how it should be cleaned from bacteria and that can be called a drawback I suppose.
